                          PEOPLE'S SAVINGS FINANCIAL CORP.               
                NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  September 30, 1996

Note A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION                                        

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December
31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
presentation.  These reclassifications had no impact on net income.


Note B - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES                             

On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  The adoption of this accounting
standard had no impact on the Corporation's financial condition or results of
operations because, in the opinion of management, it did not hold any long-
lived assets that were impaired.

On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights - an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 65."  The adoption of this accounting standard had an
immaterial impact on the Corporation's financial condition and results of
operations because it only originated for sale $2.37 million of loans during
the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 resulting in capitalized
originated loan servicing rights of approximately $20,000.

</TABLE>

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio.  The adequacy
of the allowance is determined by management's evaluation of known and
inherent risks in the loan portfolio and prevailing economic conditions and
the Bank's loss experience.  The allowance is increased by provisions for
loan losses charged against income. 


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations.

General                                                          
 
This section presents management's discussion and analysis of the
consolidated results of operations for People's Savings Financial Corp.
(the "Corporation") and The People's Savings Bank of New Britain (the
"Bank") for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, and its financial condition as of September 30, 1996.  In order to
understand this section in context, it should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.


Financial Condition                                               

At September 30, 1996 total assets were $459.97 million, an increase of
$49.81 million (or 12.1%) from total assets of $410.16 million at December
31, 1995. The increase in assets was primarily due to an increase in
investment securities available for sale and an increase in loans,
partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and investment
securities held to maturity.  The increase in total assets was funded by
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and increases in repurchase
agreements and total deposits. The increase in total deposits was primarily
due to growth in the Bank's newer branches.  During the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996, 77,500 shares of treasury stock were purchased at
a cost of $1.59 million.  The Corporation had unrealized losses on
securities available for sale, net of taxes, of $.07 million at September
30, 1996, a decrease of $.26 million from a gain of $.19 million at
December 31, 1995.


CAPITAL                                                          

The Corporation's and the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratios at
September 30, 1996 were 10.05% and 9.73% respectively.  The Corporation's
and the Bank's total risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 1996 were
19.58% and 18.98% respectively.  The Corporation's and the Bank's Tier 1
risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 1996 were 18.88% and 18.28%,
respectively.  All of the Corporation's and the Bank's ratios as of
September 30, 1996 were well above applicable minimums.  As of September
30, 1996, the Corporation and the Bank fall within the highest capital
category of "well capitalized" under the rules of the Federal Reserve Board
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                           
      
Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 was
$1,021,000, an increase of $60,000 as compared to $961,000 for the
comparable period in 1995.  Net interest income for the three month period
ended September 30, 1996 increased by $181,000 primarily due to interest
income increasing greater on loans and investments than the increase in
interest  expense on deposits and borrowings.  The increase in net income
for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 was also due to
increased trust fees, a decrease in other real estate expense, and gains on
loans held for sale, offset by increases in the provision for loan losses,
salaries and employee benefits, and other operating expenses. The increase
in salaries and benefit expense relate to our recent expansion efforts.

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was
$3,118,000, an increase of $614,000 or 24.5%, from net income of $2,504,000
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. The increase in net
income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was due primarily
to the Bank's settlement of a tax claim against the State of Connecticut
which added approximately $304,000 or $.16 per share to net income.  The
increase in net income was also due to increased net interest income, trust
fees, and lower expenses related to FDIC deposit insurance and other real
estate expenses. These increases were partially offset by an increase in
the provision for loan losses, increases in salaries and benefits, and
other operating expenses relating to our expansion efforts.

The average balances, interest, yields and rates table shows that for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in
1995 there was an increase in interest income caused primarily by increased
volume of investments and loans and increased yield on investments offset
by lower yields on loans.  Interest income for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 increased when compared to the same period last year
primarily due to increased volume on loans, increased yield on investments,
and to a lesser extent increased volume of investments and increased yield
on loans.  The comparison of interest expense for the three month period
ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 shows that
interest expense increased primarily due to increased volume of borrowings
and increased volume of deposits, and to a lesser extent increased rates on
borrowings, partially offset by a slight decrease in the rate on deposits. 
Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996
increased when compared to the same period last year primarily due to
increased rate and volume of deposits and to a lesser extent increased
volume and rate on borrowings.  This activity is consistent with the
changes in the Corporation's balance sheet and changes in interest rates
from one year ago.  During the year the Bank has taken advantage of two
arbitrage opportunities.  In the first the Bank borrowed approximately $20
million, at a rate of 6.31% and purchased approximately $20 million in
mortgage-backed securities with coupon rates of 8%.  In the second the Bank
borrowed approximately $20 million, at a rate of 5.69%, and purchased
approximately $20 million in mortgage-backed securities with coupon rates
of 7.10%.

Net interest rate spreads decreased during the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the same periods last year. The
decrease during the three month period was due to a decrease in the yield
on earning assets and an increase in the Bank's cost of funds.  The
decrease during the nine month period was due to the yield on earning
assets increasing less than the increase in the Bank's cost of funds.  The
decrease in the yield on earning assets for the three month period was due
primarily to decreased yield on loans partially offset by an increase in
yield on investments.  The increase in the yield on earning assets for the
nine month period was due to increases in the yields on both loans and
investments. The rate the Bank pays on its interest bearing liabilities
increased in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 when
compared to the same periods last year primarily due to higher interest
rates on the Bank's borrowings, and increased deposit rates during the nine
month period,  but slightly offset by lower rates on deposits during the
three month period.  The net interest rate margin decreased for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the same period in
1995, primarily due to interest income increasing less than the increase in
average earning assets.  The net interest rate margin increased slightly
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the
same period in 1995, primarily due to interest income increasing more than
the increase in average earning assets.  Net interest income for the three
and six month periods ended September 30, 1996 increased primarily due to
the increased volume of earning assets.

</TABLE>


Other income for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 increased 
by  $121,000 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase was
primarily due to increased trust income and unrealized gains on loans held
for sale.  Trust assets under management at September 30, 1996 totaled $365
million compared to $273 million at September 30, 1995.

Other income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 increased
by $210,000 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase was
primarily due to increased trust fees, increased other operating income,
and a decrease in losses on investment securities.  The increases were
partially offset by a decrease in trading account gains and unrealized
losses on loans held for sale caused by an increase in interest rates from
the third quarter of 1995.  The trading account was liquidated during the
first quarter of 1995.


The following table details the significant increases and decreases in
other expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30.

</TABLE>


Non-interest expense increased for the three month period ended September
30, 1996, from the comparable period of 1995.  The increase was primarily
due to increased salaries and benefit expenses and increased other
operating expenses, caused primarily by the continued growth of our trust
department, our new commercial loan department, and branch expansion.  This
increase was partially offset by a reduction in other real estate expenses,
due to gains on sales of foreclosed real estate recorded during the second
quarter of 1996 and a reduced number of foreclosed properties from
September 30, 1995.

Non-interest expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
as compared to the same period last year.  The increase was primarily due
to increased salaries and benefits, and increased other operating expenses, 
partially offset by a decrease in FDIC deposit insurance premiums and other
real estate expenses.  During the third quarter of 1995 the Bank received a
retro active reduction in FDIC deposit insurance premiums.  The reasons for
the changes in the nine month period are consistent with the changes in the
three month period explained above.


The effective tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 1996
decreased to 38.5% from 39.1% for the same period in 1995.  The effective
tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 decreased to
31.3% from 39.6% for the same period in 1995.  The decrease was primarily
due to the Bank's settlement of a tax claim against the State of
Connecticut, an increase in dividend income which qualifies for the Federal
dividend received deduction and a decrease in the State of Connecticut tax
rate to 10.75% from 11.25%.
